Quote:
"[In The Visit], when a young girl spies a bright object in the sky, her family calls in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and her father serenades it with singing and drumming. As he plays, the saucer grows brighter, pulsing in time with the song's rhythm. The matter-of-fact delivery of the storytellers and the simply drawn figures give this story a light-hearted tone, but its tale of intercultural communication belies its simplicity."
